Synopsis:

In the grand tradition of epic adventure, The Snow Walker tells the compelling story of two people struggling for survival against the ahrsh elements of the Canadian Arctic. Charlie Halliday, a maverick bush piolet, is on a routine job in the Arctic wilderness when he encounters a small band of Inuit fisherman. With them is a sick young woman, Kannaalaq, whom they want Charlie to fly to hospital. When the plane crasehs in a glacial lake in the vast outreaches of this desolate, yet beautiful land, Charlie realises they are stranded hundreds of miles from civilization. With the radio broken and only a handful of supplies, they are at the mercy of the harsh elements.

In 1953, in Artic, the pilot Charlie Halliday is very well-paid to change his flight plan and bring the local native with tuberculosis Kanaalaq to a hospital for treatment. However, he crashes the plane and they have to struggle for survival. Charlie learns with Kanaalaq how to survive in the cold region, forming a bond of respect and friendship with her.

A pilot and his passenger struggle for survival after crashing in the Arctic tundra.
